Man in the Mirror

I'm gonna make a change, ah

For once in my life

It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference

Gonna make it right

As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat

This wind is blowin' my mind

I see the kids in the street without enough to eat

Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs?

A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top

And one man's soul

They follow each other on the wind, you know

'Cause they got nowhere to go, that's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his ways

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make a change

Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love

It's time that I realize

There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan

Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart

And a washed-out dream (Washed-out dream)

They follow the pattern of the wind, you see

'Cause they got no place to be, that's why I'm starting with me

I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Who?)

I'm asking him to change his ways (Who?)

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make a change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh, yeah)

I'm asking him to change his ways (A change)

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make the change

You gotta get it right, while you got the time

'Cause when you close your heart

Then you close your mind

Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na

Oh, yeah

Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na

I'm gonna make a change

It's gonna feel real good, come on (Change)

You've got to lift yourself, you know it

You've got to start with yourself, (Yeah), yeah

(Make that change) I gotta make that change today

(Man in the mirror) Oh, you know it, you know it, you know it, oh, oh

(Yeah) Yeah (Make that change)

Yeah, gotta make that change today (Man in the mirror), ah

Do it today, do it today, do it today, hey, yeah-yeah, ooh

(Change)
